Legal Window Tint, in San Diego

I gotta get my windows tinted. Can't seem to find out what the legal limit is for window tint. If you know, please share. Of course I'm talking about legal limits for EACH window.

absolutely NO tint is allowed on the front driver/passenger windows. if a shop tells you otherwise they're trying to take your money.

I heard that 70% on the front windows is legal. A few tint shops and more have told me that. I couldn't find any information on the CA DMV website, but according to California Window Tint Law - TintCenter.com 70% is legal. I have 50% and you can still see me while driving.

Check out a place in City Heights area called DigiSports. They do some great work and have good prices.

James, the guy you recommended to me did a funky job on my tint. A few of the windows have microbubbles in them. My rear passenger window has maybe about 50 of them, and you'll only see them if you're looking for them, but they're noticable up close. Called him a month later to fix it but he said to wait it out and call back, and I never did. It's no biggie though.
